Photographer working throughout the UK

Joined February 2009
Recently issued Home Office guidance that states permission is needed to photograph people in public is incorrect and harmful. There is no legal requirement to seek permission when photographing in public. The BPPA hopes an immediate correction will be issued.

🇪🇸 In Ceuta, grocery stores are being fenced off and guarded by police because hundreds of hungry migrants are waiting for a chance to loot them.

On Wednesday I identified a people smuggler arranging an illegal boat embarkation. He started the engine, organised the migrants & then disembarked I told the French Gendarmes - who refused to arrest him He then sauntered off & chatted to the NGO workers he was colluding with

A closed pub and a burned down church in every village. A gang of fighting age third world migrants in every postcode. What you are watching is the direct result of weak leadership and political cowardice. Change is coming.

Just how long ago was No 10 in Manchester organised? Some interesting information has emerged. Public always the last to find out, yet we are the ones paying. #labour #manchester #government

This is hilarious. A random woman drove past Nigel Farage and yelled “wanker.” She instantly crashed her car straight after. I’ve watched this 30 times and still far from bored of it. 😂

As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question. A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye. This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist. In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal. But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.” British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation? We genuinely do not understand this.

David Lammy once said that comparing the ERG to Nazis is ‘not strong enough’ He lied & claimed that Farage ‘flirted with Hitler Youth’, before backpedalling an hour later. The fact that this emotionally unstable buffoon is the country’s second-in-command is wholly embarrassing.

Parliament must be recalled to debate Digital ID. For Starmer to release this enormously vile change with no parliamentary oversight is outrageous. Cancel recess. Cancel the conferences. Recall Parliament.

No. The UK population does not. @UKLabour is supposed to reflect the wishes of the majority of the electorate. It does not. It holds us in contempt.I am sick of #Starmer's undemocratic dictatorship.
Today, to revive the hope of peace and a two state solution, the UK formally recognises the State of Palestine.

Dear British people, Can you flood social media with this statement? Retweet it, comment “done”, and let’s see how far we can push this. Your voice matters — let’s make it echo.

This once-great nation is disappearing headlong into an unrecognisable pile of shite, due to useless politicians, woke police and other public services, and unregulated immigration. If my words offend you, then you are the problem, and not the solution, so kindly fuck off.

A lesson in leadership. One man speaks with strength about defending a nation's borders. The other can barely look up. The state of Britain today.

If you’re one of the ones that celebrated or mocked the killing of Charlie Kirk yesterday, you are a vile and twisted person. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

This is now legal if you’re black and support Labour. But if you’re a white Tory you’ll get 31 months for a post that you deleted within an hour. As far as I’m concerned @GOVUK and its institutions hold no legitimacy. They have power but no authority. xitter.cf/WorldByWolf/status/182…

British army veteran speaks from the heart. There is no serious, caring nation, that would spend billions of pounds on housing illegal immigrants whilst leaving our own veterans and citizens on the streets. We need change fast. #IAmBritish🇬🇧

I think the country changed today. A silent majority decided not to be silent any longer. No politician in the country is unaware of what is happening. We will see many of them supporting the country because they now see votes in it.
